Between my shadow and my soul

I am ecstatic about what Irfaan would call The Zawiyah one of my belovedestpeople started a few weeks ago.

It just reinforces my current quote-fetish:"The type of human being we preferreveals the contours of our heart"Ortega Y Gasset

Which by the way was said a long time ago by a brilliantamazing superextraordinary human being:

AbuHurairah reported Allah's Messenger(peace and blessings be upon him) as saying,

"Souls are troops collected together and thosewho familiarized with each other(in the heaven from where these come) would have affinity,with one another (in the world) and those amongst themwho opposed each other (in the Heaven) would also bedivergent (in the world)." (Muslim)

Which is knowledge we should treasure as theOne who has Copyright on the Soul says:

And they ask you about the soul.Say:The soul is one of the commands of my Lord,and you are not given aught of knowledge but a little.)(Al-Israa' 17: 85)

There were times in my life where I cared for people based on myparents' ideas. And then in more difficult times, based on themembodying values my parents had neglected.
